Graduate School of Business Grading System
The following summarizes the current Graduate School of Business Grading System effective Academic Year 2000/01. GSB courses completed prior to that time were subject to previous versions of this system.
Grade |
Description |
---|---|
H |
Work that is of truly superior quality. |
HP |
Passing performance that falls approximately in the upper distribution of passing grades. |
P |
Passing performance that falls approximately in the center of the distribution of all passing grades. |
LP |
Passing performance that falls approximately in the lower distribution of passing grades. |
U |
Failing performance that does not satisfy the basic requirements of the course and is deficient in significant ways. |
GNR |
“GNR” indicates that appears when no grade has been reported to the Registrar. It remains on the transcript until a grade is reported. (Effective Academic Year 2009/10.) |
Students in some GSB courses may receive grades of “+” (Pass) for courses taken on a Pass-Fail basis (with “U” denoting a failing grade), “I” for Incomplete, and “N” for a continuing grade. The grade of “N” is recorded in a course that spans more than a single quarter, when the grade in an earlier quarter will be determined only later, after the entire course sequence is complete. Students wishing to take a GSB course on a pass/fail basis should consult the GSB Registrar for rules and procedures.
